OK, It is fine for me.
But in the code have some other issues like that:
+
+static void netfilter_set_insert(Object *obj, const char *str, Error **errp)
+{
+ NetFilterState *nf = NETFILTER(obj);
+
+ if (strcmp(str, "before") && strcmp(str, "after")) {
+ error_setg(errp, "Invalid value for netfilter insert, "
+ "should be 'head' or 'tail'"); -------------------------------->>> I think you should change the "head/tail" to "before/after".
+ return;
+ }
+
+ nf->insert_before = !strcmp(str, "before");
+}
And I think the "front/behind" is better than "before/after" in this status.
At the same time the name of the "insert_before" change to "front_flag" is better.
Thanks
